🚢 CRUISE SHIPS — CHECKED
No Saint John cruise call could be independently confirmed from the strongest available sources for today, August 29.
One cruise-calendar source lists Norwegian Jewel for today, but its detailed itinerary shows the ship in Bermuda on August 29 and only arriving in Saint John on September 2. I therefore would not publish Norwegian Jewel as a confirmed Saint John call today.
Next clearly listed Saint John calls:
- Vision of the Seas: Aug. 31
- Norwegian Escape: Sept. 1
- Norwegian Breakaway: Sept. 2
👮 POLICE & PUBLIC SAFETY — CONFIRMED
